Things have been pretty exciting for me lately. A lot of twists and turns have taken place—marking the end of things and the beginning of other things.
What awaits me?
Ready.
It took me quite a while to accept the fact that I was about to open a new chapter of my life. I just resigned from my first job – a job I tenderly embraced for three years.
During my last day at the office, it never really occurred to me that it was really in fact, my last day. The reality just hit me when I was about to shut down my PC. Gahd, this will be the very last time. My eyes began to sting and suddenly began to blur. The people I talked to everyday were looking at me with this longing in their eyes, asking for one last hug before I leave. I did not dare. I could not. I hate goodbyes.
But then again, I love beginnings.
Set.
I have four days to prepare myself for another endeavor, a new adventure.
I have decided to give myself a break from all the formalities of life and follow only the dictates of my heart. I’ll go where the wind takes me, where my feet leads me, and where my mind brings me, without having to think about work—even for a second.
Keywords for this phase are: prayer, self-expression, enjoyment, healthy living. Yes, I will have those.
I plan to watch the sun rise, sing my heart out and build sandcastles. I want to run and run until I get dizzy and be thankful for fresh air. I will dance the hours away and lose pounds in the process.
But most of all, I plan to write.
I will write songs, love letters, and poems unheard. I will weave legends and stories of heroines that have walked the earth. I will spill smiles into every line, and write on fallen leaves from autumn skies.
Go.
This part is yet to be determined. What comes to my mind is Anastacia's song before embarking on a journey to finding her destiny.
Heart don't fail me now,
Courage don't desert me.
Don't turn back now that we're here.
People always say:
"Life is full of choices"
No one ever mentions fear.
Or how the world can seem so vast
On a journey to the past.
But for me, it's a journey to the future.
